8th Cloud Foundry DACH User Group Meetup

Location: Room ZL O6.12, ZHAW Lagerstrasse Zurich

Dear Clouders,

We are happy to announce the 8th Cloud Foundry DACH user group meetup, to be held on Thursday 25th of February from 18:30.

A big shout out to the kind folks from Pivotal who have offered to sponsor the event again.

Following is the agenda of the meetup:

18:30 to 18:40 - Welcome

18:40 to 19:10 - Five Years of Foundry, by Colin Humphreys, Pivotal

19:15 to 19:45 - Cloud Foundry Foundation, by Marco Hochstrasser, Swisscom

19:30 onwards - Food & Drinks (sponsored by Pivotal)

Abstracts:

1. As we near the five-year anniversary of Cloud Foundry as-we-know-it, Colin takes a retrospective view of the last five years, and throws out some ill-conceived opinions about what Cloud Foundry might look like over the next five years.

2. The CloudFoundry Foundation is a big community and has it clear structures & methods on how development at the core is done.

Marco will speak about the foundation and give you an insights how the foundation is organised, what a dojo is and how you can become a contributor or your company a member of it’s.
